Abstract: A test configuration is provided which allows a plurality of variable delay units within a delay chain to be compared with respect to one another. The delay chain is employed within a clock generator circuit that generates internal clock signals of a microprocessor. During normal operation, a set of multiplexers interposed within the delay chain are configured such that the plurality of variable delay units are electrically coupled in series with respect to one another. During a test operation when it is desired to test the variable delay units for possible defects, the four delay units are electrically separated from one another by setting the multiplexers in a test mode. A common test signal is then driven through two or more of the variable delay units simultaneously, and a compare circuit coupled to the output of each variable delay unit determines whether a transition in the common pulse signal propagated through each variable delay unit at essentially the same time. If no manufacturing defects are present, the four outputs of the variable delay units should be virtually indistinguishable from one another. Similar tests may be conducted throughout the entire operating range of the variable delay units.

Abstract: A method of cleaning, either continuously or intermittently, a pneumatically operated pulverized coal system involves injecting into this system a stream (54) of generally uniformly sized coke breeze particles. This coke breeze stream (54) abrades the interior surface of the pulverized coal system thereby cleaning it. Additionally, due to the high carbon content of the coke breeze, this substance will replace or displace a portion of the coal stream delivered to the furnace (100). Furthermore, such use of the coke breeze will eliminate the need to dispose of this by-product in cases where alternative uses are not available.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining a positional guideline, such as a baseline or ascender line, of handwritten data. This positional guideline allows for accurate positioning of the data on a computer display. It is calculated by counting the number of pixels per horizontal row in the block of data. These counts of pixels per row are then filtered using a wide moving average. The filtered rows of pixels are then analyzed per row to determine the positional guideline for the given block of handwritten data.

Abstract: A thin-walled monolithic iron oxide structure, and process for making such a structure, is disclosed. The structure comprises a monolithic iron oxide structure obtained from oxidizing a thin-walled iron-containing, preferably plain steel, structure at a temperature below the melting point of iron. The preferred wall thickness of the steel is less than about 0.3 mm. The preferred iron oxides of the invention are hematite, magnetite, and combinations thereof. The thin-walled structures of the invention have substantially the same physical shape as the iron starting structure. Thin-walled iron-oxide structures of the invention can be used in a wide variety of applications, including gas and liquid flow dividers, corrosion resistant components of automotive exhaust systems, catalytic supports, filters, thermal insulating materials, and sound insulating materials. Iron oxides of the invention consisting substantially of magnetite can be electrically heated and therefore, can be applicable in applications such as electrically heated thermal insulation, electric heating of liquids and gases passing through channels, and incandescent devices. Additionally, combination structures using both magnetite and hematite can be fabricated.

Abstract: For a computer system having a central processing unit (1), an external storage unit (3) which records data in a count-key-data (CKD) format, and a storage control unit (2) with a cache memory (6) for controlling data transfer between the external storage unit and the central processing unit, a computer system and data search method is provided which can prevent the performance of the central processing unit from being lowered and can dispense with signal transfer between the central processing unit and storage control unit during most of a data search operation period, by disconnecting the storage control unit from the central processing unit. During the data search operation, upon reception of a search command for the first record, a quasi completion report (62, Fig. 6) is issued to disconnect the storage control unit from the central processing unit. The storage control unit executes the search operation (63, Fig. 6) by using data loaded in the cache memory (6) of the storage control unit. After data is searched, a search completion report (64, Fig. 6) is issued. Since the storage control unit is disconnected from the central processing unit during most of the data search operation period, the central processing unit is not occupied during this period by the storage control unit. Signal transfer is not therefore necessary during this period between the central processing unit and storage control unit, so that it is possible to elongate a physical distance between the central processing unit and storage control unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously milling and stretching a sheet workpiece (122) includes a pair of opposed rollers (142, 144) defining a nip (146) therebetween and through which said sheet workpiece (122) is passed to be simultaneously milled and stretched in a single pass. The opposed rollers are driven in opposite directions and at sufficiently different lineal surface velocities to simultaneously mill and stretch the workpeice within the nip. Means (188, 194) for heating opposite side portions of the sheet workpiece (122) upstream of the nip (146) and at axial positions across its width are located predetermined distances from opposite side edge portions of the sheet workpiece. This increases the degree of flatness of the workpiece across its width after it has been simultaneously milled and stretched by eliminating any concave portions and bump transitional points defined between said concave portions and a main central portion of it. These tend to form at and within the vicinity of said axial positions located said predetermined distances from said opposite side edge portions of the sheet workpiece (122).

Abstract: A speech processor uses at least two speech processing features to enhance the quality of speech signals received by a user during a telephone call. The speech processing features are applied to the speech signals. However, the user only hears speech signals affected by one speech processing feature until both features have fully converged or ramped-up, and the two features are no longer interfering with each other. At that point, a "flash-cut" of the second speech processing feature is activated. The flash-cut instantaneously switches to speech signals affected by both features. This quick transition makes the speech processing features more noticeable to the user, and the user is not subjected to the period where the features interfere. Further, an optional audio indicator is generated before implementing the flash-cut, so the user is alerted to the flash-cut, and the speech processing features are even more noticeable.
